in this study the characteristics of two different kinds of la0.6sr0.4co0.2fe0.8o3 (lscf) powders, one in-house synthesized powder by a co-precipitation method and another one purchased from fuel cell materials co. (fcm co., usa), were compared. the co-precipitated powder was prepared by using ammonium carbonate as precipitant with a nh4+/no3- molar ratio of 2 and calcination at 1000c for 1 h....

Different methods of determining formation rates of 3 nm particles are compared, basing on analysis of simulated data, but the results are valid for analyses of experimental particle size distribution data as well, at least within the accuracy of the applied model. The study shows that the method of determining formation rates indirectly from measured number concentration data of 3–6 nm particl...

in this study, sio2 nanoparticles were successfully synthesized via sol-gel precipitation method and the effects of different parameters such as temperature, ethanol, ammonia and tetraethylorthosilicate (teos) contents based on water were investigated in a systematic way applying taguchi experimental design method. it was found that, among all the investigated parameters, ethanol as a co-solven...

nano-hydroxyapatite/gelatin (nha/ge) microspheres are currently used in bone tissue engineering as bone filler. in this  study, the effect of fabrication process parameters on the particle size of nano-hydroxyapatite/gelatinmicrospheres was investigated. the nha/ge microspheres were fabricated using water in oil emulsion. in order to design an experimental design, a surface response model with ...

to evaluate the flour quality 10 flour plants were selected in iran, tehran province. two kinds of flour were sampled from each plant (flour with 87% extraction named straight-run- flour as well as patent flour). samples were analyzed for their moisture content, ash, maximum viscosity of dough, particle size, falling number and the amount of damaged starch, which was determined through maltose ...

in suspension polymerization, particle size distribution of polymer is the outcome of dynamic equilibrium between the break up and coalescence phenomena. the rates of break up and coalescence and consequently polymerization stability depend on several parameters, the most important of which are type and concentration of stabilizer. in this study, the effects of type and concentration of stabili...

the influence of mo particle size on the catalytic activity and product selectivity of alkalized mos2 nanocatalysts has been investigated. nanocatalysts are prepared using a microemulsion technique with water-to-surfactant ratios of 1-12. three different techniques, including xrd, tem, and hydrogen chemisorption were used to determine the molybdenum average particle size and their activity and ...

This paper discusses about preparation of biodegradable polymer /clay nanocomposites based on organically modified montmorillonite clay; i.e. cloisite 10A and biodegradable polymer chitosan by solution mixing technique and their characterization. The nanocomposites were successfully prepared and their structures were characterized by powder x-ray diffraction (XRD), particle size analyzer (Beckm...
